Deb Goode was recommended to me by my realtor. I contacted her by phone and we scheduled a mutually convenient time for her to come to the house for an initial consultation (fee $80). She was very friendly and responsive over the phone, and exactly the same in person. I had already decided on some renovations (e.g., hardwood floors to replace linoleum; paint ceilings, walls, trim); to expedite the work, I planned to move all the furnishings out of the house. Deb and I met prior to anything being done, and we went through the house room by room. She made recommendations as to what should and should not be moved back in, and where it should go. We then discussed and decided on paint colors, flooring, and some additional renovations that would be a good investment for house resale. All in all, a very positive and upbeat experience. Deb came by the house again about a week before the renovations were completed, to get a better sense of what the newly refurbished house looked like, and make some final decisions about furnishings and decorating ideas. Since I was not planning to live in the house once it was on the market, she offered a very reasonable price ($100/month) for renting artwork, kitchen and bath items, as well as a variety of other items to dress up the house (which I gladly accepted).
Deb and her assistant arrived on staging day and went to work. The house was already greatly improved - the paint, flooring, and granite countertops in the kitchen transformed the house from what I considered as a rather cold and lifeless place into an inviting and attractive abode. But wow!! Once Deb was finished with her magic, I wanted to move back in instead of selling! By adding some colorful pillows here, attractive artwork there, pretty plants and flowers everywhere, candles, knick-knacks, etc. - well, I just don't know how to describe it. It was truly a different place - Deb has a wonderful eye for color, placement of furniture and furnishings...just a terrific sense of what looks great. I love it - and I'm sure potential buyers will be drawn in by its warm, homey, comfortable environment.
I wholeheartedly recommend Deb Goode and A Goode Start Decorating.
